Why are canon inkjet cartridges more expensive than the canon printers.

i bought a canon inkjet printer but when it was time to buy the catridges i found the catridges the same price as the printer. wtf

Liquid gold....!
Ink makes ALL manufactures more money than their printers..... and I mean ALL manufacturers, not just Canon. Theres some printer brands out their it's cheaper buying a new printer than a pack of inks.

Why is the iTunes shop in Australia more expensive than the rest of the world?

Why is the iTunes shop in Australia more expensive than the rest of the world?

How do you know that there is not parity?
Do you know Apples expenses in each country?
Apple has to sell the music for the price that they can negotiate with the owners of the distribution rights in each country.
Perhaps those who own the rights to distribute the music in Australia simply negotiated a higher price.

Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over? Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes?

Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman & Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV? Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search & purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung & HTC are already on too of them for innovation & ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?

It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Why Mac pro is better & more expensive than IMac?!

can you advice me on this:
tell me which one is more practical and powerful for 3D rendering and animation?! why?!
and why Mac pro is more expensive than IMac?! even though numbers in IMac are higher than Mac pro.......
IMac:
          - 27-inch
          - 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
          - 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
          - 2TB Serial ATA Drive
          - AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
or
Mac pro:
Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” (12 cores)
12GB (6X2GB)
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
One 18x SuperDrive

Apparently you don't fathom or realize what I said:
Better value: Mac Pro 6-core 3.33GHz. You can buy base and throw in W3680.
You can buy a single 6-core like that from Apple and pay $900 more.
I do not recommend 12-core.
I do not recommend the slower 2.66 processor
I do recommend avoiding the 2009 model.
Better off starting with the 2.8 4-core and go from there.
Ivy Bridge socket LGA2011 will have a lot of other features making them the "to die for" but no one knows and I for one would not want to be on cutting edge with any chipset or new revision. Seriously, Apple has always had issues with first silicon whether 2011 MBP or iMac or 2008/2009 Mac Pro. And always takes a couple OS updates. And then things break. And then software has to catch up.
A slower 12-core is not going to future proof. It is going to cost more and not deliver.
For last year we've all been seeing and saying 6 x 3.33.

Why are images displayed in Photoshop different than the same images displayed in Indesign?

My images imported to Indesign do NOT display as the images in Photoshop.
They seem to display under different color profiles.
The images in Indesign are more desaturated than the images in Photoshop.
This is a problem because now I don't know which image appearance to trust!
How can you get the Indesign images to look like the images in Photoshop?
I use Photoshop CS4 and Indesign CS3.
I import the images from Photoshop to Indesign for exporting to a PDF as the base for Blurb printing (www.blurb.com).
I use the CMYK profile Blurb_ICC_profile.icc:
The images in PS4 are converted to Blurb_ICC_Profile (CMYK).
Both in PS4 and ID3 the color settings are
                           Working spaces:
                              CMYK: Blurb_ICC_profile
                           Color management Policies:
                               CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles.
The images are imported into Indesign by drag and drop from Bridge CS4. In Bridge it says that the images have color profile CMYK, Blurb_ICC_profile.
I also do get "Unsynchronized: Your Creative Suite Applications are not synchronized for consistent color." And I don't seem to be able synchronize between CS3 and CS4, or whatever. I do NOT depend on any synchronization.
The settings above should be enough to show the images consistently in Photoshop and Indesign.
SO WHY DOES IT NOT?
Should not Adobes own applications be able to keep color consistency?

Hi WA Veghe,
>First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).
It seems I have to do without synchronizing..
>I do not seem to find HOW you are diplaying images on you screen: with Soft proofing?
What happens if you soft proof in Photoshop and InDesign on screen: View > Proof colors. Do you proof with the same profiles, both simulate paper and black on?
I can simulate Proof Colors (working CMYK), but not simulate Paper, both in Indesign and Photoshop.
Problem is: SAME settings in Photoshop and Indesign BUT the image displayed in Photoshop is brighter and more saturated.
So which image should I correct after?
thanks for all help

Why is officejet 6700 black ink more expensive than the other colors

why is hp officejet 6700 black ink almost twice as expensive as the other colors?

The black cartridge is larger and has more than twice the ink of the standard color cartridges.
If you do much printing you might want to consider the XL version of the cartrdiges. The 932XL is rated at 1000 pages for $32 compared to the standard black cartridge rated at 400 pages for $20.

Why are Macbooks so much more expensive in NZ compared to US?

Hi,
Just wondering why the apple products are so much more expensive in NZ than in US. I am looking at getting a new macbook pro 17" and saw it is NZ$4149, and US$2500. So I used the exchange rates to convert US$2500 to NZ$. It came to approx $3000. So why are they making us pay another $1000 in NZ??

Economies of scale most likely.
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Economies_of_scale
Your question should be looked at in the opposite "Why are US citizens getting a discount?"
If you compare the two economies and what people tend to buy perhaps that would shed some light.
Perhaps the "Apple halo effect" doesn't reach OZ?

Why is the Touch more expensive than the phone?

The iPhone which does MORE than the iPod Touch is $100 cheaper for the 32GB model! What the heck?!?
iPhone 3G S 32GB $299
iPod Touch 32GB $399

F Shippey wrote:
The actual price is reflected in the 'No-commitment pricing': $599 (16GB) and $699 (32GB)
To get the lower prices you must sign a 2 year contract and a portion of each month's payment goes to paying off the difference in price.
If this 'no-commitment price' is true, then how come I don't see it listed in their online store?

Why is mac book pro more expensive in the uk?

Does anyone know why it costs approx £380.00 more for a 15" macbook pro in the UK than the US?
RIP OF BRITAIN!!!! come to mind?
Will a US macbook pro have any differences than the UK macbook pro? because I am 100% sure it will not cost me £380.00 to ship it to the UK!!!!!!!

Adjusting for different currencies, the costs to make a product are the same, margins on are the same on each product as well.
It's in most all companies interest to sell as much product for as much total profit as possible, they know the less expensive their products are the more they sell as more people can afford them.
The only difference is perhaps shipping and each countries tariffs and taxes.
So you have to ask yourself, why does your government need 380 pounds?

Why are my trimmed QT movies larger than the original?

I have a bunch of raw .dv files copied over from my camcorder that have never been edited or opened in any other program. When I open in QT X and trim the file, the trimmed MOV version is often larger than the raw DV. On one file, I even trimmed about half of it away and it still came out larger. I was under the assumption that DV is not compressed and neither is raw MOV,
After trimming the file and saving it, I select "movie" as the format since at this point I want to leave the files in as raw as a format as possible before I bring into an editing program like iMovie.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Since QuickTime X doesn't have any export "options" (other than dimensions) a "raw" DV Stream format should always be smaller in file size.
DV Stream is about 13 GB's per hour of recording. A QuickTime X "conversion" would use H.264 video and AAC audio codecs and should be about ten times smaller in file size.
Are you sure your files are DV Stream?
In any event, QuickTime X may not be the best tool for the job.
QuickTime Player Pro doesn't re-compress the source codec if you use a simple "save" or "save as".
A regular "save" after doing any edits will replace your source file with the newer version. No way to restore any of the edited information so you should use save as (keeping the original).

Why is the unlocked iPhone more expensive than the iPad?

I am using an old iPhone 3G on a prepaid network. Love it. Getting long in the tooth -- time to upgrade. $650?! The iPad is only $499 and way cooler (minus the phone part). What gives, Apple?

I am asking myself the exact same question as @keithfromclarkson. Why is the iPhone so darn expensive. My only reason, is because Apple can. People are buying it like hotcakes. But it still bugs me, cost of production of iPhone is significantly less than that for iPad consider the following:
(All are 16GB models)
                    Retail cost    Cost of BOM + Manufacturing
iPhone          $649             $207
iPad 3           $599             $306.15
iPad 3 4G      $629             $358.30

Why charge Europeans twice? Why is it for teams more expensive than for individuals?

I see that toolfarm charges US team users 40 USD. In europe Adobe charges team users 86,09 EUR. I assume that there is 20% sales tax, after tax it's 71,67 EUR. So compared in USD it is 40 USD to 93,30 USD. Can anybody explain this huge difference, and is there a way to buy the cs cloud in foreign countries?
Then there is a price difference for individual users and team users. Teams need more licenses. In my country, if you buy more of the same, you get discount. Adobe does the opposite, why? Do I get benefits in buying team licenses?

gaspedalo wrote:

Because they feel they can get away with it all. They claim it's based on operation costs abroad, even though the distribution is via the same download, etc.

Why are iPhoto prints now more expensive? (used to be $0.12, now $0.99)

I have ordered prints in the past--normal size (4x6, 5x7) and panoramic--inexpensively, but now the price is significantly higher. When I try to share it to print online this pricing show. I am running Yosemite and iPhoto was updated in the process of that update. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help or ideas...

Only the wallets (4 per print) are $0.99. The other sizes are the same:
